Chapter 1225: Chapter 421: Yun Qianzai and Phoenix Peach [Monthly Pass]
With that said, her jade-like hand pointed toward Ji Yuan, and a petal drifted down from the sky.
Ji Yuan caught it with both hands, only to see the petal, once it landed in his palms, transform into a jade token, with the two characters "Cloud Rain" inscribed on it.
He lifted his head again, but Fairy Baihua had already turned into a streak of pink light, flying straight toward the south.
...Early-stage Nascent Soul. If I use the Chasing Lightning Cloud, with a few consecutive bursts I can still catch up.
I can catch up, but there’s no need to.
Unless I feel like killing her.
Thinking this, Ji Yuan lowered his head again to glance at the Cloud Rain Order in his hand.
"Wasn’t she the Supreme Elder of Tingtiao Pavilion? How is she now a cultivator of this Cloud Rain Sect? And what’s with these Three Star Luo Sects?"
"Could it be that after she left the Jiyuan Continent, she came here, and immediately joined a sect called the Cloud Rain Sect?"
"If that’s really the case, then her heart changes a bit too fast, doesn’t it."
"..."
Ji Yuan turned the token over and over, and after confirming there was nothing else unusual about it, he finally put it away.
Then he released his Divine Sense, checking along the direction Fairy Baihua had come from, and discovered that she had just slain a Tier Four Early Stage sea beast over there.
Only then did Ji Yuan set his mind at ease.
If it had been a fight with some other Nascent Soul cultivator, he would have had to run faster.
"But now, I’ve finally found a clear path. I can follow it south and see what’s there."
Ji Yuan urged the flying boat, turning into a streak of light as he continued flying south.
Only a single day passed like this before Ji Yuan saw a multi-decked ship on the sea. His Divine Sense swept over it and instantly saw through everything—this was a Foundation Establishment-stage demon-hunting squad, with the highest cultivation being a late-stage Foundation Establishment bald man.
In that case, they were just right to use for gathering information.
Ji Yuan put away the flying boat, then turned his body into escape light and plunged straight down from midair, his domineering aura ripping apart the restriction array of the ship and bringing him directly into the cabin.
His sudden move forced the entire ship to a halt.
The five Foundation Establishment cultivators on board were stunned at first, then all came over and knelt before Ji Yuan.
"Greetings, senior."
Ji Yuan swept a glance over them and said nothing. Instead, he went straight to the main seat and sat down in an imposing manner, then spoke in a deep voice:
"This seat is the Old Demon Crossing the Seas. I’ve always been cultivating elsewhere before, and just arrived here. I’m going to ask you a few questions—who will answer?"
The kneeling Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged glances, and in the end it was still the bald man who shuffled forward on his knees, kowtowing as he said:
"Please ask, senior. This junior will certainly tell all that he knows."
"Where is this place, and what Immortal Sects are here?" Ji Yuan asked the question he most wanted answered.
"In reply to senior, this is the Xingluo Archipelago. The Immortal Sects closest to here are the Three Star Luo Sects, namely the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Dan Ding Sect, and the Cloud Rain Sect. These three are all of the Righteous Dao."
"Apart from that, a bit farther away, there are four Demon Sects, namely Ten Thousand Poisons Valley, the Blood Shadow Sect, the Thousand Illusions Demon Sect, and Spirit Ghost Mountain."
"These are all powerful sects with Nascent Soul cultivators sitting in town."
Ji Yuan listened to his answer without commenting, simply raising a hand to tap on the tabletop in silence. After a moment, he said, "Do you have a sea map? Bring one for me to see."
The bald man thought to himself: Who goes out to kill a demon beast and brings that kind of thing?
"In reply to senior, this junior has one."
A purple-robed woman with twin blades at her waist hurriedly offered up a scroll with both hands.
Ji Yuan made a grasping motion, and the scroll flew into his hand and unfurled. He gave it a rough scan.
The sea map was large and recorded many things—it was exactly what he needed at the moment.
But very soon, he discovered on the sea map that the continent closest to the Xingluo Archipelago was actually not the Jiyuan Continent, but... the Desolate Ancient Continent!
The Xingluo Archipelago lay directly north of the Desolate Ancient Continent; as long as one followed the direction of the Xingluo Archipelago and continued south, one could reach the Desolate Ancient Continent.
"So without realizing it, I’ve already come this far?"
"Doesn’t that mean that once I form my Nascent Soul, I can go to the Desolate Ancient Continent to have a look, and search for my King Bi second senior brother and that little junior sister Phoenix Peach."
As for the Xingluo Archipelago before him, it really wasn’t far away. Ji Yuan estimated that even if he didn’t fly at full speed, he could reach it within two days.
And those Three Star Luo Sects each occupied one of the three largest islands of the Xingluo Archipelago.
Hence the name Three Star Luo Sects.
The Four Demon Sects, on the other hand, were located to the south of the Xingluo Archipelago. So if cultivators of the Three Star Luo Sects wanted to go to the Desolate Ancient Continent, they’d inevitably have to pass through the territory of those Four Demon Sects.
"I’m taking this sea map."
Ji Yuan casually stowed it into his Storage Bag, then flicked his finger, and several mid-grade Spirit Stones landed in the hands of the Female Cultivator who had just offered the sea map.
"Come, tell me about the situation of these Three Star Luo Sects."
After Ji Yuan spoke, the bald man was about to open his mouth, when Ji Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked offhandedly, "On my way here earlier, I heard a few Qi Refining cultivators talking about something like ’most beautiful Nascent Soul of the Three Star Luo Sects.’ Do you know who they were referring to?"
At these words, the bald man didn’t even hesitate. He immediately said:
"They were definitely talking about Cloud Rain Sect’s Miss Baihua."
